Lord, are you there?
my pain is so real,
my hurt senses feel
Save me from my woes,
why do you deny me?!
have I not denounced your foes?
Where is my divine protection?
my shining star,
God is in my reflection,
I cried out, but you never came,
seems a bit deranged,
to me...
I never strayed from the path,
or questioned you,
for fear of your wrath,
I kept myself from calling out,
all your logical flaws,
seems my faith is not so stout,
Is my spirit dying?
or is it even there,
Perhaps those Christians were lying?
These are not schemes, lord,
can't you tell dreams, lord!?
Do my hopes mean nothing!?
Why!?
Why do you let my spirit die!?
You cannot let my spirit die,
do you know why?
Because you were never really there...

Believe
Faith is the assured expectation of things hoped for, the evident demonstration of realities though not beheld. 2 For by means of this the men of old times had witness borne to them.
3 By faith we perceive that the systems of things were put in order by God’s word, so that what is beheld has come to be out of things that do not appear.
4 By faith Abel offered God a sacrifice of greater worth than Cain, through which [faith] he had witness borne to him that he was righteous, God bearing witness respecting his gifts; and through it he, although he died, yet speaks.
5 By faith E′noch was transferred so as not to see death, and he was nowhere to be found because God had transferred him; for before his transference he had the witness that he had pleased God well. 6 Moreover, without faith it is impossible to please [him] well, for he that approaches God must believe that he is and that he becomes the rewarder of those earnestly seeking him.
7 By faith Noah, after being given divine warning of things not yet beheld, showed godly fear and constructed an ark for the saving of his household; and through this [faith] he condemned the world, and he became an heir of the righteousness that is according to faith.
